We need help in getting toyota motors, inc. To honor the warranty program covering premature excessive rust corrosion of certain toyota model frames. In mid-october 2018 we received notification from toyota motors, inc., of the following: 'warranty enhancement notification ' zh8 and limited service campaign ' hof.' the zh8 and hof were instituted as a result of a determination that the frames on certain toyota vehicles are prone to 'excessive, premature rust corrosion because the frames were not properly prepared and treated against rust corrosion when they were manufactured.' excessive rust corrosion on my SUV 'compromises the vehicles' safety, stability, and crash-worthiness because important suspension components, engine mounts, transmission mounts, and body mounts anchor to the vehicles' frames'. By driving my high end SUV, I will be putting my family's safety at risk. On 10/25/2018: we took our SUV to jim coleman toyota in bethesda, md for frame inspection. The attached work order shows: 'inspected and found no perforation. Eligible for crc spray ' customer will return at a later date for frame crc application.' it was during this time I was told that jim coleman only had one person performing this work. And that we had two years from october 2018 to have the work performed by toyota at no charge. On monday march 10, 2019, we left our SUV with the toyota dealer so that the hof work could be performed. We received a call from the dealer at 5:05pm on friday 03/15/2019 informing us that (a) our SUV had not been repaired since the frame needed to be replaced (b) that there are large holes in the frame and (c) no work would be performed since the hof had ended in january 2019. We paid over $60,000.00 for our toyota SUV not many years ago. We literally received a different answer regarding the crc and hof each time we called toyota customer relations

The vsc trac light, the vsc off light and the brake lights all come on.... It caused my brakes to actually fail. I can turn the vehicle off and restart and this seems to reset it. This happens without warning and at various times. It happens quite frequently and especially during the warm summer months. It is extremely dangerous and would happily have it fixed if someone could tell what the exact fix is?

While applying brakes..it takes a while to stop and while in reverse / backing up ...brakes squeek and slides when backing up and makes a squeeking, popping noise and it slides like the brakes are going to give out. Took to toyota dealership and they state all vehicle brakes squeek and very common / found nothing wrong and had them indicate in writing (a mechanic and 2 other people have drove my vehicle stating yes something wrong w brakes)

The vehicle vsc trac system goes on for no reason when the car is in motion (roads are straight, and dry). As a result, the brakes go into a loud grind mode and do not engage, a loud blaring beeping sounds, the vehicle starts to vibrates horribly, I can not accelerate and the steering is difficult. It is not safe, as I was on a country road going 55 MPH on a straight 2 way road with traffic! It has happened twice and as far as I can see it has happened to many other 2006 sequoias owners yet only the 2003 were recalled for this issue. Unacceptable!

My car has been having this problem for several months and I decided to bring it in to get it checked and fixed. My signals for the brake light, trac off lights and vsc trace lights all go on at the same time periodically as I am driving anywhere on the freeway or the street, and disapear periodically. I thought I had fixed everything when they diagnosed 5 things on my vehicle that needed to be fixed. One of them was my mass air flow sensors that are making my lights go on and off. To which I went ahead and let them fix it and many other things and still it is not fixed and continues to go on and off. This is very dangerous because it's messing with my brake system.

Toyota sequoia (ball joints recall) was driving on highway I-5 northbound just after the bridge that goes over the sacramento river I was on the bypass/cosway bridge driving in the #1 (of 2) lane going 65 MPH when suddenly my front end driver's side of my vehicle dropped completely and I was skidding on complete metal, I had no breaks and continued to skid for what seemed like forever, and steered to my to my right passing the #2 lane going up against the edge of the right side on the bridge. I was completely shocked. I couldn't open my driver's side door due the traffic right up against me. I immediately called my insurance road-side assistance who dispatched a tow truck. Due to the nature of the location, the tow truck required the assistance of highway patrol. The tow truck driver immediately knew about this issue and said toyotas were known from the upper/lower ball joints breaking on them. The vehicle was taken to valley tire service shop. The service guy there also knew immediately what was wrong with it. The next day I called the toyota manufacturer to report the incident. I was informed that the defective part was in fact a recall. However, the part had already been replaced in 2009. After having reviewed many blogs on line about this being a common issue with toyota sequoias (some more than once), I was extremely concerned. I am extremely concerned and fear driving this vehicle knowing that the defective part having already been replaced is still defective. I will not trust another part being replaced on this vehicle and would like to know what I should do. The consumer no longer owns the vehicle. Updated 10/04/2017

The vsc trac light, the vsc off light and the brake lights all come on....it caused my brakes to actually fail. I can turn the the vehicle off and restart and this seems to reset it. This happens without warning and at various times. This has happened more than once. I took vehicle to dealer, they replaced a $200 part and it did not help. It's happened again. I've read many many reports of this online. Why no recall. It's a miracle nobody has died. Brake failure???? Seriously.

Just like every other 2006 sequoia at 80k miles the yellow ABS, yellow vsc off, yellow vsc trac , and red brake dashboard lights came on causing it to fail the ma state inspection. Disassembled p/n 44050-0c100 and the brushes in the ABS pump motor (ate 25.0206-0206.3) are completely gone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota sequoia. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the check engine, the traction off and the vsc tract warning indicators illuminated as the brake pedal was depressed but the braking was delayed. The vehicle also veered from left to right. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the air pump assembly and switching valves failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
